<p><img class="top" src="images/kids.jpg" />Located in Accra, the
capital of Ghana, our aim is to reach out to individuals and communities
on issues about communicable diseases, especially HIV/AIDS, sexually
transmitted infections (STI) and tuberculosis (TB). We educate on the
prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT), empower people
living with HIV (PLHIV) and help improve their self sufficiency. Our
clinic in Accra is open to all people in need of medical assistance.</p>

<p>The West Africa AIDS Foundation (WAAF) is a registered non
governmental organization (NGO) founded in 1999. The organization
focuses on research, advocacy, care and support. WAAF regularly
organizes community outreach programs <img src="images/waaf_img.jpg"
	class="left" alt="waaf image" /> to provide education and counseling
with the aim of inducing behavioral change, especially in areas with
high incidence of HIV/AIDS in Ghana.</p>
<p>By respecting human dignity and diversity WAAF creates an
atmosphere of trust, which enables people living with HIV/AIDS to make
informed choices. We welcome everyone irrespective of age, gender,
sexual orientation or socio economic background.</p>
<p><b>WAAF's mission</b> is to help battle the spread of HIV/AIDS
and mitigate its effect on communities by providing care and support
centers and developing and implementing pragmatic intervention programs.</p>
<p><b>WAAF's vision</b> is to set up comprehensive health care
centers in all regions of Ghana and West African sub-regions to provide
quality health care and to reach out to identified target groups in
collaboration with local and international partners.</p>

<h4>IHCC - International Health Care Center</h4>

<p>The International Health Care Center (IHCC) was founded in 1998.
Today, IHCC functions as a community clinic open to the general public
for all kinds of medical treatment. When IHCC started, our primary focus
was HIV/AIDS infected patients. <img src="images/ihcc_naa.jpg"
	class="left" alt="Dr Naa" /> At that time IHCC was the only clinic
with hospice facility for HIV/AIDS patients in Ghana. Until now IHCC
remains one of the few places where terminal AIDS patients can find
comfort in their last days.</p>
<p>IHCC's mission is to provide accessible and equitable medical
care of the highest quality for all people, including people living with
HIV/AIDS, through supportive and compassionate initiatives that focus on
the needs of patients and enhance health and quality of life.</p>
<p>In the past, IHCC was the last stop for many people living with
AIDS. At this time many patients are saved by medical care given by IHCC
and are today active members in society. This makes us proud!</p>
<p>Due to our strong connection with WAAF, IHCC is currently mainly
focused on HIV/AIDS. Unfortunately stigmatization and discrimination
against people living with HIV (PLHIV) continues, with the result that
many such people lose their jobs. IHCC serves these and other
marginalized people who are unable to pay for the cost of care.
Therefore both IHCC and WAAF are dependent on soliciting funds and in
kind donations to finance our work. If you would like to support WAAF
and IHCC, please visit the <a href="support.html">support section</a> of
our website.</p>
